# <a name="Building_GNUMach_GNU_Mach_from_S"> </a> Building [[GNUMach]] from Source
If you want to build the [[GNUMach]] kernel yourself instead of just using a pre-built binary, follow these instructions.
## <a name="Getting_the_Source_Code"> Getting the Source Code </a>
You can chose between getting the [sources from the developers's RCS](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/gnumach-download.html#cvs):
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/hurd co -r gnumach-1-branch gnumach
(Most probably you want to get hold of the _GNU Mach 1 branch_ and not the trunk, which is also what we've done above.)
... or (if you are working on a Debian system) the ones that are used for the [current Debian gnumach package](http://packages.debian.net/source/unstable/gnumach):
$ apt-get source gnumach
Please see [[Distrib/DebianFAQ]] before using _apt-get source_.
The unpacked source tree is around [TODO]MiB, and the build tree (with all drivers enabled) is around [TODO]MiB.
## <a name="Preparing_for_the_Build"> Preparing for the Build </a>
### <a name="_on_Debian_systems"> ... on Debian systems </a>
Building GNU Mach requires the _build-essential_ and _fakeroot_ packages, their dependencies and additional packages that are specified by the source gnumach package:
# apt-get install build-essential fakeroot
# apt-get build-dep gnumach
### <a name="_on_non_Debian_systems"> ... on non-Debian systems </a>
[TODO]
## <a name="Building"> Building </a>
### <a name="_deb_files"> ... _.deb_ files </a>
Change into the directory with the downloaded / unpacked gnumach sources, e.g.
$ cd gnumach-20050801
Start the build process with
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -rfakeroot
### <a name="_TODO_"> [TODO] </a>
[TODO]
[[GNUMach]] is now building. To use the new kernel, you must install the resulting _.deb_ package which is located one directory above the build directory and has a similar name as the build directory, e.g.
# dpkg -i ../gnumach_20050801-4_hurd-i386.deb
You can now reboot your computer and enjoy the new kernel.
